Lucia Annunziata has resigned from Rai. He announced it in a letter sent to top management: "I have come to this choice without any personal complaints: you will judge, now that you are responsible for it, the work I have done over the years".

«I come to you because I don't agree with anything about the current government's work, neither on the contents nor on the methods - writes the journalist -. In particular , I don't agree with the modalities of the intervention on Rai . Recognizing this distance is an act of seriousness on my part towards the company you are preparing to govern. There are no conditions for a collaboration therefore. And on the other hand, I don't intend to embark on the path of permanent internal conflict at work. I hope these lines are taken with the same seriousness on your part. Waiting for indications on whether and how to conclude the current season (on the calendar it is the end of June), I wish you good luck».
